However, concerns about its significance are addressed in the final merits determination.

Labor certification validity for area of intended employment
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found on its own review that the certified labor certification specified one area of intended employment, while the Form I-140 stated a different area and various unanticipated locations. The two worksites fall in different MSAs, constituting a material change that invalidates the labor certification for the petition.

Even though the petitioner's net income could cover the proffered wage for the instant beneficiary individually, the petitioner failed to show it could pay the wage to all sponsored beneficiaries simultaneously, and the totality of circumstances—including the large number of petitions relative to company size—undercut the realism of the job offer.

The petitioner's evidence in aggregate does not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim at the very top of the field. Judging experience was occasional and routine, original contributions lacked evidence of major significance, company lacked distinguished reputation, and no published material about the petitioner existed.

Who's Who in America is a publication, not an association, and its selection criteria do not constitute outstanding achievements judged by recognized national or international experts. The teaching offer was post-filing and not membership in an association. The editorial board invitation relates to the judging criterion, not membership.

While the director found the contributions significant, he failed to find them of 'major significance in the field.' The recommendation letters failed to show that contributions were widely applied or influential beyond select projects, and contained general statements without specific supporting evidence. Patent applications and conference presentations also did not establish major significance.

None of the submitted items constitute published material about the petitioner relating to his work in professional or major trade publications or other major media. Most items are about the petitioner's company or products, merely quote the petitioner, or lack required title/date/author. Internet accessibility alone does not make a website major media.

Foreign degree equivalency (master's vs. bachelor's)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that EDGE, a peer-reviewed resource, confirms the Diplôme d'Ingénieur is comparable only to a U.S. bachelor's degree, not a master's degree. The credential evaluations submitted were inconsistent with EDGE and not supported by documentary evidence.

Graphic design is not listed among statutory professions and O*NET data shows nearly 20% of graphic designers lack bachelor's degrees, meaning a bachelor's degree is not a minimum entry requirement. The petitioner's self-employment context further undermines any argument that a degree is a de facto prerequisite.
